这个sql脚本给出了所选数据库中每个表的模式、表名和行数:

SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS [SchemaName],
[Tables].name AS [TableName],
SUM([Partitions].[rows]) AS [TotalRowCount]
FROM sys.tables AS [Tables]
JOIN sys.partitions AS [Partitions]
ON [Tables].[object_id] = [Partitions].[object_id]
AND [Partitions].index_id IN ( 0, 1 )
-- WHERE [Tables].name = N'name of the table'
GROUP BY SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id), [Tables].name
order by [TotalRowCount] desc

裁判:https://blog.sqlauthority.com/2017/05/24/sql-server-find-row-count-every-table-database-efficiently/

另一种表达方式:

SELECT  o.NAME TABLENAME,
  i.rowcnt 
FROM sysindexes AS i
  INNER JOIN sysobjects AS o ON i.id = o.id 
WHERE i.indid < 2  AND OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id, 'IsMSShipped') = 0
ORDER BY i.rowcnt desc

如图所示，这将返回正确的计数，而使用元数据表的方法将只返回估计值。

    CREATE PROCEDURE ListTableRowCounts 
    AS 
    BEGIN 
        SET NOCOUNT ON 

        CREATE TABLE #TableCounts
        ( 
            TableName VARCHAR(500), 
            CountOf INT 
        ) 

        INSERT #TableCounts
            EXEC sp_msForEachTable 
                'SELECT PARSENAME(''?'', 1), 
                COUNT(*) FROM ? WITH (NOLOCK)' 

        SELECT TableName , CountOf 
            FROM #TableCounts
            ORDER BY TableName 

        DROP TABLE #TableCounts
    END
    GO

如果您使用MySQL >4。X你可以用这个:

select TABLE_NAME, TABLE_ROWS from information_schema.TABLES where TABLE_SCHEMA="test";

请记住，对于某些存储引擎，TABLE_ROWS只是一个近似值。

接受的答案在Azure SQL上不适合我，这里有一个，它非常快，完全符合我的要求:

select t.name, s.row_count
from sys.tables t
join sys.dm_db_partition_stats s
  ON t.object_id = s.object_id
    and t.type_desc = 'USER_TABLE'
    and t.name not like '%dss%'
    and s.index_id = 1
order by s.row_count desc

select T.object_id, T.name, I.indid, I.rows 
  from Sys.tables T 
  left join Sys.sysindexes I 
    on (I.id = T.object_id and (indid =1 or indid =0 ))
 where T.type='U'

这里indid=1表示群集索引，而indid=0表示堆索引

我在http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=21021上找到了一个帮助我的片段:

select t.name TableName, i.rows Records
from sysobjects t, sysindexes i
where t.xtype = 'U' and i.id = t.id and i.indid in (0,1)
order by TableName;
